Wear Red on Friday, February 7th!
Friday, February 7th is Go Red for Women day across the country. This day is to bring awareness to the #1 killer of women–heart disease, which is more deadly than all types of cancer combined. We at Visiting Angels in NJ encourage everyone to wear red on Friday!
- 90 percent of all women have at least one risk factor for developing heart disease
- 1 in 3 deaths each year in women are from heart disease, while 1 in 31 are from breast cancer
- Women are less likely to call 911 for themselves than they would for another person
- About 43 million U.S. women are affected by heart disease each year
- Even though heart disease is the #1 killer of women in the U.S., only 1 in 5 women think it’s their greatest threat to their health
